Josh is an animal!!! I met him last year, he is a super nice guy. When he sprinted it was like a rocket took off.

I dig the foiled seat stays. Is that downtube triangular?

Thanks, the downtube is almost teardrop shape, except it has a strange bottom edge.

Is Josh Weir the American Flag guy?

That bike looks amazing. If I wasn't desperately poor, and if I actually stood to gain anything from a $2000 frame, that's exactly what I'd want, right down to the Wound-Up fork.

nice bike!

but two questions: 1) usually when I see bikes with positive stem set ups like that, it makes me think someone bought a frame that was the wrong size. since (I assume) it was full custom, can you tell us a bit more about the sizing the rider requested and/or set up? it is for different stem-bars combinations or events or...?

2) re: the picture. maybe I am just anal, but why not leave enough unpainted area so the track nuts don't mess it up?

Howdy,
Sprinters like smaller bikes for stiffness. up stems put them in their proper position.
Ask the painter on the 2nd issue...

too bad about the paint, but that makes sense for the small frame/fit. cheers.

I think I know the bike your talking about with the american flag disc wheel and frame that isn't Josh, but your right that bike is sweet.

I think it's two American-flag trispokes and a red, white and blue Cannondale track bike. It's really something else.
